President Vahagn Khachaturyan sent a message on the occasion of the Constitution Day.

"Dear compatriots,

I congratulate all of us on the occasion of one of the most important holidays of our state, Constitution Day.

All states and peoples have holidays in their history, but the holidays related to Independence and the Constitution are special and symbolize the victory of the unity and common will of the people.

On September 21, 1991, by saying "Yes" to independence, our people showed their loyalty to the cherished dream of having a sovereign, democratic and prosperous country. On July 5, 1995, the adoption of the Constitution confirmed the sovereignty of our statehood.

It is no coincidence that today we also celebrate the day of state symbols: the flag, the coat of arms and the national anthem, because in this series the Constitution completes the content of independent statehood.

The essence and spirit of the constitution are two highest values: state and man, and constitutionality is the expression of harmony and unity of these two values. The Constitution is the main guarantor of the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen, and at the same time, the claimant of realizing the individual duty of each of us, because rights, freedoms and independence are first of all the highest responsibility.

The combination and balance of the ideas of statehood and freedom is the pillar on which the model of statehood, civil liberties, and constitutional order are built, from which the development potential of the state begins.

Dear citizens,

Once again, I congratulate all of us on the occasion of the Constitution Day and wish peace and strength to our statehood, well-being to our citizens, and I believe that our homeland and our people have the potential to achieve these goals," the President's message reads.
